CLEVELAND – The Thunder’s defense has stood up to the test in second halves of each of the past three games, but on Saturday afternoon it will face one of its most robust trials to date – a matchup with the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

While the Thunder has held its past three opponents to under 40 points in each of the past three second halves that it has played, against the Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers, it faces a Cavaliers squad that ranks fifth in the NBA at 109.
